Myanmar (Burma) - Frequently asked questions

An e-visa is an official document that grants you permission to
travel to a country and travel within that country. The e-visa is an electronic
alternative to the regular visa and is issued by the government of the country
concerned. An e-visa is applied for completely digitally, so you don’t have to
go to the embassy to apply. After it is issued, you receive the e-visa by
e-mail*

*For Cuba you will receive your e-visa by regular mail, for China you
will receive your documents by regular mail as well as e-mail.

Will an e-visa guarantee entry to the country concerned?

An e-visa grants you permission to travel to a country. The
government of that country always retains the right to deny entry without
notice to the holder of an e-visa. Luckily, in reality this rarely happens.

Is that the number 0 or letter O in my passport?

The UK passport number consists of letters and numbers. The difference between the letter “O”
or number “0” isn’t always clear. To prevent confusion, the letter “O” is not
used in UK passport numbers. So it always is the number “0”.

I have multiple passports, can I choose which passport I use to travel with?

Yes, you can choose which passport you travel abroad with. For the validity of your e-visa it is
important that the details on your e-visa correspond to those in the passport

travel to that country.

My passport expires soon and I’m going to apply for a new one before I travel, can I already apply for an e-visa?

correspond to the details on the passport you are travelling with. So you need
to have your new passport details before you apply for an e-visa.
